      On March 15, 2024, I received 3 fraud alerts on phone regarding my Apple Card. I logged into my Apple Wallet and noticed that although Goldman Sachs had blocked those 3 charges that I did not make, a 4th charge for a $4,977.08 transaction from StubHub on March 15, 2024 at 7:18AM had gone through. I immediately used the Apple chat agent to connect to a card agent from Goldman Sachs and disputed the charge. I was told by the agent, Well monitor for this transaction to post for the next 21days and once posted, dispute will be automatically processed. Your reference number is *********** I received a temporary credit to my account for the full amount of the transaction.On September 11, 2024, I received a notice that the original credit I was given for the dispute was reversed. I again disputed the charge and was given the same information about waiting for a decision and I requested I be contacted by the investigator in my case and that I receive whatever evidence used in making a determination. I was sent a letter that was illegible. I can provide this if necessary. I received a temporary credit to my account for the full amount of the transaction.On November 11, 2024, I again received notice that the credit to my account from the dispute was reversed. For the 3rd time, I disputed the charge and was told I would 100% be contacted by someone in the ****************************** before a decision was made. I was not contacted and again received a letter with their so-called evidence that was illegible. I received a temporary credit to my account for the full amount of the transaction.Yesterday, on January 9, 2025, I was agin notified that the credit to my account for the dispute was reversed. Today, January 10, 2025, I again disputed the charge but was told that without additional evidence, the temporary credit applied to my account would more than likely be reversed again. I have ran out of options, this complaint is the last step before legal action.

      Business Name: Goldman Sachs Transaction Date: 05/14/2024 Transaction Amount: $203.30 On May 14, 2024, I purchased a pair of shoes from ******** for $203.30. After wearing the shoes only a few times, I noticed significant degradation in their quality. I contacted ****, and they acknowledged the defect, agreeing that the product did not meet their quality standards. Unfortunately, **** was unable to replace the shoes as they were out of stock.Due to this lack of resolution, I initiated a dispute with Goldman Sachs to seek a refund for the defective product. Despite providing clear evidence of the product's poor quality and ****'s admission of the defect, Goldman Sachs declined my dispute. This decision is disappointing, as it disregards my rights as a consumer and leaves me without a resolution for a defective ********** the issuer of my payment method, Goldman Sachs has a responsibility to fairly evaluate disputes and protect customers from defective merchandise. By denying my dispute, they have failed to uphold this obligation.I am seeking the following resolution:A reversal of Goldman Sachs' decision and a refund for the disputed amount of $203.30.I also provided clear evidence, chat transcripts with the merchant (****) in regards to this, and then Goldman Sachs provided to ask for more evidence multiple times, when I was informed it was enough to begin with and they already had this ************** be *****, I am sick of Goldman Sach's abuse of the Apple Card platform - I have had terrible customer support, lack of understanding, and similar dispute issues with them in the past.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      Dear the Bank,

      I am writing to formally respond to the banks findings regarding my dispute. The product in question is well beyond the merchants 60-day return window for defective merchandise, which the merchant has explicitly acknowledged. Additionally, the merchant has confirmed that they are unable to replace the item because it is no longer available.

      The merchant has recognized the defect in the product, and I provided supporting evidence through Apple chat as instructed by an agent to the Bank. However, the banks response does not appear to reflect this evidence, nor does it take into account the merchants acknowledgment of the defect and their inability to provide a replacement. I am curious to how this banks reply was thought of, because it addresses none of what my dispute is about and believes my dispute was made within the 60 day return period - was my complaint even read? 

      Given that the merchant has admitted to the products defect but is unable to offer a replacement or refund due to their policies, I respectfully request that the the Bank/BBB further review this matter. A consumer should not be penalized when a defective product is acknowledged but no viable resolution is provided.

      Thank you for your time and consideration.

      [Your Answer Here]

      This is the exact same answer as before. This is the same as if I copied and pasted my original complaint. I contacted **** - this item was outside their 60 day return window as you've stated twice now and have spoken with them multiple times about this as well. They cannot replace the item as they no longer has any in stock. They cannot offer a refund since it is not within the 60 day return window now. This is in full, a bank error, as I should not be liable for this balance for defective merchandise I was sold that the merchant takes full credit/responsibility for but cannot compensate me with a replacement item.

      I believe this account has been assigned to me in error, as I am not liable for the debt in question.I have no contractual obligation with *********** and have never received any documentation to substantiate the validity of this debt, despite my formal requests for verification.

Since *********** has been unable to provide this documentation, I assert that the debt is not mine and should not be associated with my records.I kindly request the removal of this erroneous collection from my account and an acknowledgment of this resolution in writing.

      I have the Apple Card with Goldman Sachs and the customer service is horrible. They have allowed multiple fraud charges to go through which were resolved but they dont seem to monitor like other card companies. I made a purchase through ******** UK on for an event on July 13, 2024 to the tune of $750 and the event was cancelled. Stub Hub refuses to give a refund so I disputed the charge with my card and provided proof the event was cancelled. They have denied it twice with no explanation. Calling them on the phone I get **** saying it sounds like you should be refunded but I cant do anything about that they told me a supervisor would call me back to resolve the issue and I never received a call.

      The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed an inadvertent processing error occurred.

As a result, the temporary credit that was applied to the Customers account was reversed on September 24, 2024. The Bank sent the Customer an email detailing the dispute outcome.

      I applied for an Apple Mastercard Card via an online advertisement that advised that by applying for the card and spending $500 or more by January 13, 2025 within 60 days of account opening that $100 Bonus Daily Cash would be received. I applied for the card and was approved on December 27, 2024. I spent over $500 and qualified for the $100 Daily Cash Bonus on December 31, 2024. To date, I have not received the bonus Daily Cash of $100. I have been receiving deplorable customer service each time I have reached out for support. I called to get assistance with this and have received the runaround but no assistance or resolution with getting the Daily Cash added to my account or any callback.On January 2, 2025, my transaction at ****** was declined for $201.38 with no notifications received or no clear reason so I stepped outside and called support to receive no assistance initially and I requested a supervisor and he was able to confirm that I was not sent any notifications to approve the transaction and I learned my account was restricted with no notification or communication from ***** in any capacity. It was removed and resolved while on the phone. On January 8, 2025 I attempted to pay for a service provided in my home to repair my dryer for $327.00 with AS Appliance Repair and it was declined with no notification. I called support and was told my account was restricted because I did not approve the transaction but there was nothing sent to my to enable me to approve. There has not been any fraud or any reason to block the transaction as this is the second time this has occurred with more than enough available credit. I was not assisted and although the available credit was available the restriction was not lifted and no assistance was provided via phone support after speaking to multiple supervisors and this was very embarrassing and caused the vendor not to be able to be paid. This was embarrassing and completely unacceptable.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      Im currently reappeling a dispute with ***** Card. One the bank ruled in the merchants favor they selected the wrong way to dispute. Two I think I need help from the bbb, I made a reservation stay in April of this year and didnt get to stay till Oct 21. Im going to submit what happened but I feel the bank should have used all the information I provided. I filed a police report went to the bbb on the merchants company and to the town halls this merchant is continuing cheating other people out of there money. I will submit my statement in the pictures below its based off my ****** Review and warnings I have updated it a few times to warn people of the risk they take in going.if I need to submit more I will but the merchant broke her own contract we signed for the hotel stay and harrassed us and also threatened me and my wife why we were there. She promised us a refund if I left but I knew I would never get it. I could have forced to stay but it was her house and she could have called the police. Im looking for a full refund since she broke her contract and I was suppoused to stay from 7pm to 8am and no one would bother us at all its unfair and not right she won the dispute when she scammed and fruaded me. As well as threatening us and harassing us only 2 1/2 hours of our stay. Im ashamed of the bank I do business with they did nothing to Protect my money and just handed it Over even with a police Report filed and 90 plus dispute files added unbelievable. Im asking the bank to return the money I was scammed Out of thank you. I also included the rules that state I would not get bothered and my email I submitted to her as well the moment we left the place.

      I received an email from ***** inviting me to apply for their Apple Card. After reading the email, I was intrigued because it mentioned that I would earn 3% cash back on everyday purchases. However, I wanted to clarify if there was a catch to this cash back percentage. The email didnt specify that the 3% applies only to ***** products and specific stores, or that the 2% applies to all other purchases made using the card through ***** Pay. This information was only provided after I had already applied for the card. The emails verbiage is misleading and false. I find it hard to believe that such misleading information could be approved for use in an email to a high-value client like ******I would like to file a formal complaint about this card and request that Goldman Sachs legal team review and amend the verbiage in future emails related to your Apple Card campaign. Additionally, I want to ensure that I receive the 3% cash back as advertised in my original email. If I had known how the 3% was broken down, I would never have applied for this card.

      I attempted to use my apple card to pay at IQ nail salon on 8/16/24 but the card kept circling, so the clerk canceled and reran it on my ***** card. There was a difference in the amount because the ***** card had the tip on it. The apple card was charged even without a signature. I called them as soon as I seen the charge and provided my ***** statement showing the charge and a picture of a text trail with the salons manager. And they denied this 3 times. This is after speaking numerous times with their customer service agreeing with the dispute as a duplicate. The last call I made 12/26/24 I requested all documentation of the denies and yet to receive any.
